Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Brush the fish lightly with oil to help it sear properly on the grill.
  4. Place the fish fillets on the hot grill, skin-side down if applicable.
  5. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes without moving them to develop a nice char.
  6. Carefully flip the fish and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through and flaky.
  7. While the fish cooks, finely chop the bird's-eye chilies and mix with fresh lime juice.
  8. Remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
  9. Spoon the spicy lime chili mixture over the hot fish immediately.
  10. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for extra brightness.
